I switched from Windows to Linux for about 3 years now. As it was already said, the package manager is awesome. It's the best way to keep your software updated and to install new ones very quickly and for free ! I also enjoy the personnalisation that the os offers. Open-source software are designed to be modular and almost everything can be tweaked by adding a plug-in, an extension or what so ever. Other points were also mentioned: security, privacy, performance. I'm sorry to hear that people doesn't like the Linux community. I guess there is bitchy people everywhere. Don't be afraid of the console. You can do everything in GUI if you want, the same way that you would do on Windows but it should be noted that Linux terminal is really powerful and it gives you like superpowers ! I'll conclude with negative points: will you have driver issues ? Your hardware should work out of the box but as it is mostly generic drivers, the performance could be an issue (battery life and loudspeaker in my case). Is there softwares for Windows only ? Yes, shame on them. But there is probably a better alternative open-source. Hope I gave you my points. There is no such best operating system ever. It's all about your needs and your feeling.
